(Oceanian mythology)

A ghastly spirit of the Caroline Islands. When this female demon with long iron teeth used to visit an island, the people were usually cautious in their behaviour. But there was one man who coveted her iron fangs so much that he made a plan. Getting Lioumere to grin at the antics of a very ugly clown, he rushed forward and dashed them out with a stone. At once there was a scramble for the iron fangs because of their magical power.
